Without more details, try a few things. First, put some gas in it. I'm sure you already checked your gas gauge, but they can become faulty on an older car. Also, if you already did this step - check to see if your fuel filter is clogged. Going on the assumtion that your car does crank but does not start (so you don't have to check the starter), also check your oil to make sure it does not have a milky color. (This would indicate a blown head gaskett from overheating - this is only likely if you left it running for a long time.) Check to make sure you are getting spark in each cylinder. You can do this by touching the spark plug end of each spark wire to your engine block one at a time while cranking the car - you will see the sparks arc to the engine block from the end of the wire if you have spark. If no spark, check ignition coil, distributer cap, rotor etc.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

My 86 Mazda 626 isn't running either. I stopped it during lunch and it wouldn't start. I've sprayed some starter fluid into the intake and it starts for just long enough for the starter fluid to burn up and then it dies again.
Try using some starter fluid that you can find at any car parts store and see if you have the same result. If so, then it might be the fuel filter or fuel pump. I've changed my filter and that didn't fix it so it looks like my next step is to change the pump.

All good things must come to an end, dearest. Perhaps it is time for a new one. Cannot say much else about your problem, only check to make sure that the battery is good, it might be possible that you left something on like your dome light or something.

Check for spark first. If timing belt is broken, you won't get any spark (dist not turning). If belt OK and no spark check ignitor. They cost about $125, and one hour to install.
